Daily Reading Plan - Second Year Preface - Under the type of bonds and yokes Jeremiah prophesieth the subjection of the neighbouring kings to Nebuchadnezzar, and exhorteth them to submit quietly, and to give no heed to false prophets: he adviseth the like to Zedekiah: he warneth the priests and the people not to credit lying prophecies; and sheweth that the remainder of the sacred vessels shall be carried to Babylon, and there continue until the day of visitation. Jeremiah 27 Preface - Christ foretelleth the destruction of the temple; sheweth what signs and calamities should go before, and what should happen at the time of his coming: no man knoweth the day or hour; we must therefore watch and pray, that we may not be found unprepared. Mark 13 Daily Light - Morning Endure Hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. I have give him for a witness to the people, a leader and a commander to the people. - It became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation prfect through sufferings. - We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God. - We do not war after the flesh: (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds).... The God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 2 Tim. 2.3; Isa. 55.4; He. 2.10; Ac. 14.22 Eph. 6.12-13; 2 Co. 10.3-4 1 Pe. 5.10 Daily Light - Evening The unity of the Spirit. There is one body, and one Spirit. - Through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto any holy temple in the Lord: in whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently. Eph. 4.3; Eph. 4.4; Eph. 2.18-22 Ps. 133.1-2 1 Pe. 1.22 A Puritans Catechism Q 14 - What is sin? A - Sin is any want of conformity to, or transgression of the law of God. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH 9 This office of mediator between God and man is proper only to Christ, who is the prophet, priest, and king of the church of God; and may not be either in whole, or any part thereof, transferred from Him to any other. 43 43 1 Tim. 2:5 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The Saviour's desire Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; John 17 v 24 He does not mean that we should be presently taken out of this world. Some of you that have come to Christ may, this day, be favoured with so much of the joy of heaven, and such a dread of going back to betray Christ in the world, that you may be wishing that this house were indeed the gate of heaven; you may desire that you might be translated from the table below at once to the table above. 'I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ.' Still Christ does not wish that. 'O pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil.' 'Whither I go, thou canst not follow me no.' (like that woman in Brainerd's Journal - 'O blessed Lord, do come! Oh, do take me away! Do let me die and go to Jesus Christ. I am afraid, if I live, I shall sin again.'). He means, that when our journey is done, we should come to be with Him. Every one that comes to Christ has a journey to perform in this world. Some have a long, and some a short one. It is through a wilderness. Still Christ prays that at the end you may be with Him. Everyone that comes to Christ hath his twelve hours to fill up for Christ. 'I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day.' But when that is done, Christ prays that you may be with Him. He means that you shall come to His Father's house with Him. 'In my Father's house are many mansions.' You shall dwell in the same house with Christ. You are never very intimate with a person till you see them in their won house, till you know them at home. This is what Christ wants with us - that we shall come to be with Him, at His own home. He wants us to come to the same Father's bosom with Him. 'I ascend to my Father and your Father.' He want sus to be in the same smile with Him, to sit on the same throne with Him, to swim in the same ocean of love with Him.
